I wish to make an inquiry of the cooks and chefs of the Net as to
whether they have ever encountered a flat pasta strainer (the
strainer is flat, not the pasta!) of the kind which is held against
the top of a pot to allow the water to be poured off without losing
the pasta?  Lonnng ago I had such a tool (it got munged in the dishwasher :-( )
that was semicircular and had a lip which braced it against the side of the
pot.  Now I have searched high and low for another such strainer and the
best I have been able to find is a cheap wooden one (the holes have splinters
in them, yet!).  I have seen the large screens on a hoop on a handle and
while they might do in a pinch, they are large and not much easier to clean
than a colander (one of the reasons I wish to get away from the colander
method of straining).  If anybody knows where one might be had in the
Chicago area, or mail ordered, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Replies will be gratefully acknowledged.

Thanx in advance.
